Has anyone else apart from me wondered why the likes of Jonathan Ball, Usual Suspect and Dutch allow
Rick Etter's continual denial of the collateral deaths associated with his diet to go unchallenged?
If you look at a recent discussion between Rick and myself on this issue you'll see there's no doubt
that Rick denies the fact or possibility that grass fed beef accrues collateral deaths despite
evidence provided from a list of animals killed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal
Damage Control Program.

Nope.Yep. They do exist.

Nope.
So, though you insist collateral deaths exist in crop production, you also deny they exist in grass
fed beef production. Thanks for such an excellent example of a meatarian's state of denial. [end]
So, why do the antis attack vegans for allegedly denying the collateral deaths associated with their
diet while ignoring Rick's total denial of the deaths associated with his? I'm not questioning
anyone's belief of their responsibility for them, but rather the anti's silence while one particular
regular on these animal related groups goes unchallenged for ever daring to suggest no animals die
for his food. I believe their CD argument holds a double standard.
